The management of our marine resources encompass both biophysical and human dimensions. Marine management professionals need to understand these dimensions, utilizing both physical and social sciences to tackle challenging issues, and effectively communicate best management practices to scientists, decision makers, and stakeholders.

The Marine Resource Management graduate certificate offers a blend of science- and management-oriented courses that prepare participants (professionals, decision-makers, and graduate students) to become leaders in marine resource management.

A graduate Certificate program is a structured progression of graduate-level courses that constitute a coherent body of study with a specifically defined focus within a single discipline or a logical combination of disciplines. It is designed for students who have completed a baccalaureate degree and are in pursuit of advanced-level learning.
